Islam and Anarchism, with Mohamed Abdou

This week we have a little treat for fans of radical political philosophy. Mohamed Abdou, Global Racial Justice Postdoctoral Fellow at Cornell University, joins us to talk about his new book Anarchy and Islam: Relationships and Rensonances, published by Pluto in 2022.

Constructing a decolonial, non-authoritarian and non-capitalist Islamic anarchism, Mohamed philosophically and theologically challenges the classist, sexist, racist, ageist, queerphobic and ableist inequalities in both post- and neo-colonial societies like Egypt, and settler-colonial societies such as Canada and the USA.
